Wells Fargo Winter Skate

The rink is open Christmas Eve from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed Christmas Day, open on New Year's Eve 11 a.m. to 4:50 p.m., and closed New Year's Day.

Once again, the Landmark Plaza and Rice Park in downtown St. Paul will become a winter wonderland for the season. As the temperature drops, the rink will grow more busy, with open skate sessions, broomball and hockey leagues, and free lessons taking over the space throughout the coming months. Things kick off this Saturday, November 17, with a party open to all from 3:30 to 7 p.m. Festivities include live holiday music, free hot cocoa, DJ sets from KS95, a performance from pro figure skaters, and a giant Christmas-tree lighting ceremony capped with fireworks in Hamm Plaza.
